The only thing is that I have my pc downstairs in another room and my router is on the main floor and I can’t run an Ethernet cord anywhere and I measure my ping in game for example on fortnite I usually average around 30 to. 25 ping and yes my house is not a new house and the withering might be old.

Probably not much you can do about that speed in that case unfortunately unless you use some WiFi extenders, that may help. The ping increase could be to do with the powerline adapters, what is the ping shown on the Geo-Filter?
- NoahhFeb 09, 2020GuideI’ve seen videos of what it’s supposed to look like but when I go on geo filter it doesn’t show the servers or for anti buffer bloat it doesn’t help that and for traffic prioritization it doesn’t show my pc

Remember that in order for Geo-Filter to work, you have to add your device to it.
If you can't see the device in the list, go to Device Manager, switch to Table mode, and search for the current IP address that you've got on your gaming device. You can then rename the device to something more easily recognisable, and add that to the Geo-Filter.
Also remember that WiFi and Ethernet connections from the same device will appear as two different devices on Device Manager.
